Song of a Leaf The life of a single leaf isn't so different from a human life From the tree of existence both emerge unknowing and instinctive moving towards the light For a while our shape seems vibrant and in summer we grow confident but soon enough the seasons change and winds that could be ignored before chill the marrow of our frame Soon enough we'll turn into crimson leaves falling down to the dustheap of history but for a 100 days at least – we enjoy vibrancy & green
